A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Xiao Rui did not expect that the imperial edict he issued would become a death warrant for Chen Yi.

Bihu looked at what the emperor said to her and already had some trust in him. She was ready to add fuel to the fire and said, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I would never dare to lie to you!"

"I know that it is wrong for me to help the tyrant, but I had no choice at that time. Sister Bitui once tried to denounce the Queen in front of you, but was killed by the Queen... So I really didn't dare to put myself in danger..."

When the queen heard Bitui's name, she looked towards Bihu in surprise. Wasn't Bitui missing? How could she have been silenced by herself?

"What did you say? Beatrice was clearly missing, how could it be said that she was silenced by me?" the Queen exclaimed.

Bihu bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, please stop pretending. You fabricated the disappearance. If the emperor wants to know the truth about Sister Bicui, he only needs to send someone to Fenghua Palace to investigate carefully and he will know..."

After hearing this, Xiao Rui immediately called Xia Lu.

"Xia Lu, immediately send someone to Fenghua Palace to search for the whereabouts of Bicui, the maidservant beside the Queen. If she's dead, we must find her body!"

Xia Lu: "Yes."

When the queen saw that the emperor had sent Xia Lu to Fenghua Palace, she felt relieved and said to Bihu with gritted teeth, "Bitch! The emperor has already sent someone to Fenghua Palace, you are just waiting to dig your own grave!"

Bihu remained silent, but her heart was filled with joy.

After a while, Xia Lu came back.

When the queen saw Xia Lu coming back, hope finally ignited in her heart, thinking that she could finally clear herself of suspicion.

Xia Lu acted swiftly and decisively and easily found clues in Fenghua Palace. He sent people to salvage the body from the well, and after confirmation by other palace servants, it was confirmed to be Bi Cui.

When Xia Lu passed by the Queen, she felt her burning gaze, but she did not stop and walked straight to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have fished out a female corpse from a dry well in the backyard of Fenghua Palace. After multiple verifications, I have confirmed that it is the palace maid Bi Cui."

When the queen heard this, she collapsed to the ground.

Beatrice was her personal maid, who had always served her faithfully, but she drowned...

"Bitui, Bitui..." The queen stood there in a daze.

Xiao Rui's words woke up the dazed Queen. "What else do you have to say, Queen?"

The Queen shook her head and said in disbelief, "I really don't know! Beatrice disappeared inexplicably without any signs. She is my personal maid, and I will definitely not kill her!"

The queen murmured in despair, "She was so young, and I promised to let her go when she turned 25, give her a large sum of money, and watch her get married in a grand ceremony... How could she die like this..."

Afterwards, the queen remembered that Bihu had just confidently testified against her, and thought that maybe she was the one who did it!

The Queen pointed at Bihu and said, "I know, it was you! You killed Bicui! And you put the blame on me!"

Bihu said with a wronged look on her face, "Sister Bitui and I have always been like sisters. Sister Bitui has taken good care of me. How could I kill her? Your Majesty, please don't slander someone's innocence..."

Seeing Bihu pretending to be pitiful, the Queen was sure that it was Bihu who killed Bitui. "You are such a ruthless person! You knew Bitui took good care of you, but you dared to kill her! And I, I thought I treated you well, but you colluded with outsiders to slander me!"

Bihu explained in a low voice, "Sister Bitui didn't want the Empress to violate the palace rules and sneak out of the palace, so she pretended to tell the Emperor. Who knew that the Empress would be so angry that she would kill Sister Bitui... and then she would stick to me..."

"I have no grudge against Sister Bicui, why would I do this..."

The two argued endlessly. Bihu's words were sincere and the Queen's reaction did not seem to be acting. The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Xiao Rui didn't want to know how Bicui died, but asked, "Queen, I just want to ask you, was it you who caused the fire in Lingxiao Palace?"

The Queen had never done it, so she naturally refused to acknowledge it.

"Your Majesty, please believe me. I have never done this before! Even if I want to do it, there is no need to risk my life and do it myself. Wouldn't it be a nuisance? I can just arrange someone to do it!"

What the Queen said made some sense, and the suspicious Xiao Rui couldn't help but start to speculate. The Queen had a motive to hurt Chen Yi, but the Queen shouldn't be stupid enough to do it herself and bring trouble upon herself!

Bihu saw that the emperor's expression changed significantly after hearing what the queen said.

Then he delivered a fatal blow and said, "Your Majesty insists on saying that you didn't kill the Third Prince, but what about the First Prince's death? Your Majesty, can you still have a clear conscience?"

When the eldest prince was mentioned, Xiao Rui and the queen looked towards Bihu excitedly at the same time...
